Poor Paddy On The Railway (The David 'Kid' Jensen Show) [July 1984] [Live] (The David 'Kid' Jensen Show, July 1984, Live)

In 1841, the corduroy breeches I put on

Me corduroy breeches I put on

To work upon the railway, the railway

I'm weary of the railway

Poor Paddy works on the railway

In 1842, from Hartlepool I moved to Crewe

Found myself a job to do a working on the railway

I was wearing corduroy breeches, digging ditches

Pulling switches, dodging pitches

As I was working on the railway

In 1843, I broke the shovel across me knee

I went to work for the company, on the Leeds to Selby railway

I was wearing corduroy breeches, digging ditches

Pulling switches, dodging pitches

As I was working on the railway

In 1844, I landed on the Liverpool shore

Me belly was empty, me hands were raw

With working on the railway, the railway

I'm weary of the railway

Poor Paddy works on the railway

In 1845, when Daniel O'Connell he was alive

When Daniel O'Connell he was alive

And working on the railway

I was wearing corduroy breeches, digging ditches

Pulling switches, dodging pitches

I was working on the railway

In 1846 I changed my trade to carrying bricks

I changed my trade to carrying bricks

To working on the railway

I was wearing corduroy breeches, digging ditches

Pulling switches, dodging pitches

As I was working on the railway

In 1847 poor Paddy was thinking of going to Heaven

The old bugger was thinking of going to Heaven

To work upon the railway, the railway

I'm sick to my death of the railway

Poor Paddy works on the railway

And I was wearing corduroy breeches, digging ditches

Pulling switches, dodging pitches

I was working on the railway
